Le Croci is adjacent to Sperone’s Tenuta Neirano winery, perched on top of the Monferrato hills. The site’s southern facing slopes provide perfect exposure to sunlight, which then reflects against the white calcareous soil and back onto the vines. The vineyard is farmed without irrigation and has excellent drainage. In short, this is a sweet spot to grow Barbera grapes.

Description

This wine is produced exclusively from the Le Croci vineyard (“The Crosses”). The site is named for its location at the crossroads of two streets which together surround the areas of “Regione Croci” and “Frazione Croci”. The Sperone family is proud to call Le Croci Barbera d’Asti Superiore their finest expression of Barbera. This is a supple, expressive wine with structure suitable for aging.
